The Runaway Groom

Chapter 1008

Irene was frowning, but she lowered her voice. "Lulu is not telling you because she has her reasons-"

"What reasons could she have? She chose the wrong man and refuses to admit it. She's afraid to say it, to let others know that she was blind,' Zachary huffed, upset at Lulu's silence.

She just had to say that Martin messed up, and he would stand up for her and beat Martin up for her!

Even if they were not lovers, they could be family-he could at least do that much for her.

On the other hand, Irene was watching Lulu, who kept her head lowered as she held Jean in her arms.

Irene could sense that Lulu did not want to part with her baby, that she was compelled to leave Jean in someone else's care.

While Zachary was not exactly a stranger, Lulu was still the one who carried Jean for ten months, and they were dearest to each other.

As a mother, Irene understood that feeling.

Rising to her feet then, she said, "I'm hungry. I'm going to get some food."

Irene was sure that although Lulu had told her to raise Jean, Lulu actually wanted to give the baby to Zachary. Lulu probably did not want to say it directly and would have other things to say.
